Council approves fire-hall change orders and upgrades communications as part of budget revisions
Summary
Council approved three change orders for the new fire hall (foundation and masonry adjustments, and a dishwasher spec change), accepted budget revisions (Resolution 2025R-026) and authorized purchase of a phone system intended to save up to $6,000 over time.
The City Council approved three construction change orders for the new Fire Hall and adopted budget revisions that include purchases and reallocations tied to the facility move.
Administrator Teresa Hill described Change Order #3 for general trades (removing an ADA-specific dishwasher requirement so a lower-cost dishwasher may be installed), a cast-in-place modification for the interior foundation and an upsized masonry block specification for storm shelter walls. Council approved the change orders on a combined motion.
Council also approved Resolution 2025R-026 to revise the 2025 budget and authorized purchasing rather than leasing the City's new phone system. Hill said purchasing the phone system would allow the City to pay the equipment off in four years and projected conversion savings of between $1,200 and $6,000 over time, plus a continuing 50% internet discount under the current franchise agreement.
